Typefaces for Dyslexia

Both typefaces claim that heavier strokes on the bottom prevent dyslexic readers from flipping the letters when viewing them. The original caption: A heavier bottom is used to show which way is supposed to be down. I’ve been writing this post in fits, so it may be a bit disjointed.…
